Re: bump-free mecanum wheels
i suspect that when strafing the zig zagging becomes more rotational rather than side to side because of the way that all 4 wheels interact with each other. however when there are only two wheels being powered while going diagonally, it stops rotating and starts to move back and forth. i came to this conclusion because the non powered wheels oscillate as well according to our encoders. i cant tell what happens when the motors are powered because the motors interfere with the way the wheels spin freely.
